On Thursday 28th September, Year 6 spent the whole day at the Open Zone @ The Word.
The children enjoyed spending time programming EV3 robots, building and programming Lego Wedo 2.0 as well as creating a World War Two news broadcast in the film studio. It definitely was a hardworking yet fun filled day for all.
This term in Art, Year 6 are studying Vincent Van Gogh. This week their focus was his famous oil on canvas picture ‘The Starry Night’. The children created their own version using a variety of pastels. Their final pieces of artwork are very impressive and are on display in the Year 6 classroom.
Within Science, the Year 6 children are currently studying Light and Sight.
This week the children have carried out an investigation to find out if light travels in straight lines.
Year 1 have enjoyed learning about fantasy stories, particularly Room on the Broom, The Gruffalo and the Gruffalo’s Child. Next week we are moving onto Whatever Next! and will adventure into space! Here we are being reading buddies to the toys in our reading area. They love to listen to us tell them stories.

In July 2017 Stanhope Primary School were awarded with a silver award in ‘Our School Games’. This is the first year that Stanhope have entered and we are over the moon to be awarded silver. Thank you to Mr Rogers and all of the children who have contributed to the school sports teams throughout the year!
Great to see you all back after a lovely summer break. Please continue to check our new website for any upcoming events and news throughout this academic year.
We have decided due to our great participation in sports this year 2 new awards. These are to be awarded annually to the best boy and best girl in sports at Stanhope.
The Victor Ludorum Winner 2017 – Kai Muir Y6
The Vitrix Ludorum Winner 2017 – Maddison Fontaine Y5
Both have been wonderful ambassadors for our school, participating in many sports events this year with great determination to succeed.
Well done!
On 12th July 2017 30 children from Stanhope Primary School travelled to The Vue Cinema at Trinity Square Gateshead to watch a private showing of Despicable Me 3, as a reward for having 100% attendance for all of 2016/2017.. thats correct, not ONE day off in a whole school year!! After the movie the children then went to Burger King and enjoyed their chosen lunch before heading back to school on the Metro. The children always enjoy the annual trip to the cinema and we hope to carry this tradition on for many years to encourage children to attend school. A big well done to all of the children!
